Don't believe it will work. The story editor uses html, while the message board uses bb code.

I think I have used the bb code for italics in one of my stories and it worked.

Is there a way to test story formatting without actually submitting it?

To test it, no.

If you want bold or italic in a submitted story, use the BB code. [ b ] and [ / b ] and the like. Italic is "i". Underline is "u".

You cannot submit complex HTML code for a story. It just won't work.

Will the BB code for Times New Roman work in stories?

Inserting BB codes into a text file is somewhat cumbersome. Is there a text editor or word processor that can do it somewhat automatically?

To the best of my testing, no.

If you like that font, set your browser to display it.

B, U, I, center, and the like are the only ones that work for the story formatter.

As for a word proc. that will do all of that for you, I don't know of one.

The story formatter here is not a complex one, say like the one HPFF dot com. Then again, it doesn't work right either.

C van D wrote that he wanted to use Roman for the speaker's words. It looks like that might not be possible.
